Clinical Trial: Intraoperative Non-invasive Eye Movement Monitoring

U.S., Feb. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT03046615) titled 'Intraoperative Non-invasive Eye Movement Monitoring' on Feb. 1.
Brief Summary: For procedures involving proximity to the nerves responsible for eye movement, the need to monitor eye movement exists. The current solution is to place needles in the muscles surrounding the eye. The Investigators have invented a non-invasive electrode and software designed to monitor eye movements non-invasively. The electrode is placed on the skin on the corner of the eye and using the natural dipole of the eye, detects the horizontal and vertical movements of the eye. The Investigators would like to prove efficacy compared to the standard monitoring.
Study Start Date:
Study Type: Interventional
Condition: Surgery
Intervention: Device: EEG Electrode Patch
The additional electrodes are modified EEG electrodes (used in clinical practice on the head already) placed in a silicone molding. These are placed lateral to the eye with the patient asleep. These are then wired to the same recording apparatus that we would commonly use for recording.
Device: Standard Needles
Needles are placed in the muscles surrounding the eye to measure eye movements.
Recruitment Status: Enrolling by invitation
